moment.js get current time in milliseconds?

var timeArr = moment().format('HH:mm:ss').split(':');

var timeInMilliseconds = (timeArr[0] * 3600000) + (timeArr[1] * 60000);

This solution works, test it, but I'd rather just use the moment api instead of using my own code.

This code returns TODAYS time in milliseconds. I need it to call another function in milliseconds...Can not use the epoch. Need today's time formated in milliseconds. 9:00am = 3.24e+7 milliseconds 9:00pm = 6.84e+7 milliseconds.

From the docs: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/parsing/unix-timestamp-milliseconds/

So use either of these:

moment(...).valueOf()

to parse a preexisting date and convert the representation to a unix timestamp

moment().valueOf()

for the current unix timestamp

See this link http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/unix-timestamp-milliseconds/

valueOf() is the function you're looking for.

Editing my answer (OP wants milliseconds of today, not since epoch)

You want the milliseconds() function OR you could go the route of moment().valueOf()

var timeArr = moment().format('x');

returns the Unix Millisecond Timestamp as per the format() documentation.

You could subtract the current time stamp from 12 AM of the same day.

Using current timestamp:

moment().valueOf() - moment().startOf('day').valueOf()

Using arbitrary day:

moment(someDate).valueOf() - moment(someDate).startOf('day').valueOf()
